Blocking such links doesn't make the sites go away. The sites are still there, it just makes it harder for Wikipedians to keep tabs on it and warn people who get listed.

The blocking policy has for a long time regarded publishing personal information as blockable behaviour.
True, but that is of little help if it is done by people outside of Wikipedia.
